Chapter 119: Slash Night! Slash Night!

~11 min read 2,186 words

Cold rain continuous, Wu Lie Bridge head.

From a distance, Lu Ran saw a tall woman wearing a yellow raincoat.

In this gloomy painting, she seemed to be the only bright color in the world.

She stood on the stone railing of the bridge, looking far away, gazing at the Wu Lie River rushing south.

In her naturally hanging right hand, she also carried a long and thin Slash Night broadsword.

The cold rain fell on the blade overflowing with cold light, and flowed down the tip of the blade to the ground.

"Good guy." Lu Ran couldn't help but grin.

This was too imposing.

He quickened his pace and called out from afar: "Sister?"

Deng Yuxiang didn't move, looking at the river water in a daze, as if she didn't hear Lu Ran's voice.

Lu Ran stepped forward quickly, came to her feet, rested his elbows on the bridge railing, and tilted his head to look up at the face under the woman's hood:

"Sister?"

And responding to him was only the sound of the rushing river water.

Lu Ran curled his lips, looking at the cold yet beautiful and moving face of the woman under the hood:

"Not talking, pretending to be an expert?"

"Mm?" Deng Yuxiang finally came back to her senses and looked down.

"In a bad mood?" Lu Ran leaned against the stone railing and asked.

"Heh." Seeing it was Lu Ran, a smile finally appeared on Deng Yuxiang's expressionless face.

She shook her wrist slightly and used the cold blade to lightly pat Lu Ran's head: "You're here."

Lu Ran: "."

Didn't I just come!

How did you become a Lord Bei Feng believer?

You couldn't hear my approaching footsteps, and you couldn't hear me calling you?

If your God knew about this, wouldn't she expel you from the sect!

"What kind of expression is that?" Deng Yuxiang shook her wrist lightly and patted Lu Ran's head with the blade again.

Lu Ran pushed the blade away with one hand: "What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"

Deng Yuxiang raised her eyes again, looking into the distance: "Thinking about what my hometown will experience tonight."

"Ah?" Lu Ran's heart tightened, "What do you mean?"

Deng Yuxiang, in Lu Ran's mind, had an extremely tall image, with explosive combat power!

Facing danger, her personality should be more about meeting difficulties head-on.

Yet at this moment, she was actually somewhat melancholy?

Deng Yuxiang sighed: "For this fifteenth, Rain Alley City has another big shot coming."

Lu Ran frowned, probing: "Similar to the big shot who fought the Sea Realm · Yin Yin Hua Dan last month?"

Deng Yuxiang gave a light "Mm."

Her nasal sound was very shallow, but it sounded deafening in Lu Ran's ears.

In this world, there are many believers who can divine and predict, such as Spirit Sign believers, Curse Masters, etc.

Since Deng Yuxiang said so, then Rain Alley City's side should have deduced something.

"Then... then why did the Divine People Bureau let me join the team?" Lu Ran asked.

He wasn't afraid of battle, but was surprised by the decision made by the Divine People Bureau.

Deng Yuxiang said softly: "Your talent is obvious to all.

After the last night of the fifteenth, we reported your performance.

The bureau also gave us orders: during this night's patrol, depending on the specific situation, be ready to throw you into the nearest shelter at any time.

But before the battle situation exceeds the scope of control, you must exert your talent and work with us to save the lives of more comrades."

As she spoke, Deng Yuxiang looked down at Lu Ran again: "Are you afraid?"

Lu Ran turned around silently, looking at the Wu Lie River flowing into the smoke and rain.

Deng Yuxiang reminded: "You are not a Moon Gazing person; you can go home now.

This is also something specially approved by the bureau; everything is up to you."

Lu Ran said: "I didn't say I was afraid either."

Deng Yuxiang raised an eyebrow slightly: "Mm?"

Lu Ran said casually: "Isn't there you!"

Deng Yuxiang looked at Lu Ran quietly; after a while, a smile appeared on her face again.

In this cold autumn rain, her smile seemed exceptionally warm.

Lu Ran's words were fine, but Deng Yuxiang had another interpretation.

If other Stream Realm believers joined the patrol team, they would naturally be the ones heavily protected by the Moon Gazing people.

However, the reason Lu Ran could be specially approved to join the team was because, to a certain extent, he could protect this patrol team!

This sounded unbelievable, but it was the truth.

Last month on the fifteenth, a group of Moon Gazing people were helpless against that sinister and cunning Yin Yin Hua Dan.

Until Deng Yuxiang came to Lu Ran for help, and he, under everyone's gaze, accurately pinpointed the Yin Yin Hua Dan.

This was Lu Ran's terrifying value!

So the sentence "Isn't there you" that Lu Ran just said had two interpretations in Deng Yuxiang's ears.

One is that Lu Ran trusts her, believing she can protect him well.

Two is...

Precisely because she was in this small team, and could encounter accidents at any time, Lu Ran insisted on staying in the team.

Deng Yuxiang didn't think she was being narcissistic.

One had to know, on the night of the last fifteenth, when she went to him for help...

Lu Ran didn't even ask about the specific situation and just replied with a "Good" word.

"Having said that, next month, the school can't let us defend the city again, right?" Lu Ran's tone sounded very relaxed.

He waited for a moment, but didn't get a response from the woman.

"Sister?" Lu Ran looked up, just in time to see Deng Yuxiang looking at him quietly.

Lu Ran was somewhat worried: "I say, your state is not good!

Always dazed, like a straw demon, standing straight here.

How can you patrol like this?"

"Thump~"

The cold blade lightly touched Lu Ran's skull.

Lu Ran covered the back of his head with one hand and almost laughed out of anger: "Dialogue stuck, but when hitting me, you're quite fluent?"

Deng Yuxiang's expression was unkind: "You said I look like a straw demon?"

Lu Ran: "."

Heh, women.

If you say other things, they can't hear you at all.

If you say she doesn't look good? Hmph, then those ears are sharp!

Deng Yuxiang still responded to the question: "It's not necessarily that a special event will happen, it's just possible."

Lu Ran was open-minded: "Don't comfort yourself, those truly powerful believers, nine out of ten divinations are spiritual."

"Mm..." Deng Yuxiang pondered for a moment and nodded, "Special events within Great Xia are indeed becoming more and more common."

Lu Ran also nodded.

Over the past month, he had also seen some news on the internet.

Last month on the fifteenth, many places in Great Xia experienced special events like "Ghosts Walking at Night," "Descent of the Demon Lord," etc.

It's just that cities like Rain Alley City, which suffered from special events twice in a row, were still in the minority.

People always say that this world is becoming more dangerous, and the living environment is becoming worse.

When special events are no longer special, but gradually become normalized, this is the best embodiment.

Deng Yuxiang suddenly said: "How is your cultivation?"

Lu Ran: "Stream Realm, Fourth Stage, advanced this morning."

Deng Yuxiang: "Looks very smooth."

"How about you?" Lu Ran asked back.

Deng Yuxiang shook her head: "Stuck."

As she spoke, she slowly raised the Slash Night broadsword, letting the rain wash the blade: "Me and her, both stuck."

Lu Ran encouraged appropriately: "Maybe you'll break through tonight, it's all uncertain."

Deng Yuxiang suddenly thought of something: "Last month on the fifteenth, after I beheaded the Yin Yin Hua Dan, the reaction of the Slash Night blade was particularly intense."

"Oh?" Lu Ran also came to his senses, "About to become?"

Deng Yuxiang licked her cold thin lips, her voice very light: "At that time, my mood was very chaotic, and I didn't pay special attention to it.

Thinking about it now, it seems I missed an opportunity."

Hearing this, Lu Ran also secretly thought it was a pity.

This kind of thing is indeed rare to meet.

Wanting to gather an artifact spirit requires the master and the divine weapon to work together.

Especially at the critical moment when the blade spirit takes shape, the master's guidance is a crucial factor.

And after the battle with the Yin Yin Hua Dan, Deng Yuxiang, who had avenged her great hatred, indeed had great emotional fluctuations.

Lu Ran still remembered that she kissed the hood of her raincoat and hurriedly escorted him home.

"Yin Yin Hua Dan, right?" Lu Ran said, "Fine, tonight I'll find you another one to sacrifice to the blade, let you two find the feeling of that night!

How about it, do you have confidence?"

Deng Yuxiang was originally somewhat annoyed, but hearing this, she couldn't help but glance at Lu Ran with a mix of anger and amusement.

Lu Ran looked expectant: "Best if you both advance!

Heard that when you Lord Bei Feng faction are in the River Estuary Realm, you can summon a particularly huge blade.

One slash down, and you can even split a residential building?"

"Can." Deng Yuxiang nodded lightly, a hint of longing flashing in her eyes.

She had been stuck at River Realm, Fifth Stage for too long!

That strong desire to advance was something the current Lu Ran couldn't understand.

Although Lu Ran didn't understand, he could read her expression.

Seeing Deng Yuxiang was no longer annoyed, and her eyes staring at the Slash Night blade were becoming more and more fiery, Lu Ran also smiled: "How about it, Great Dream... cough, Sister?

Tonight I'll find you and Slash Night a Yin Yin Hua Dan to sacrifice to the blade, let you two find the feeling of that night!

How about it, do you have confidence?"

Deng Yuxiang whispered: "The feeling of that night, I also tried to recall it, just..."

"Hum!"

Deng Yuxiang's expression froze, only feeling the large Slash Night blade in her hand suddenly vibrate.

Water droplets splashed, and the cold raindrops falling on the blade were all shaken away.

Deng Yuxiang's beautiful eyes were already fiery, and at this moment, they were even more brilliant.

She slowly raised the broadsword, her expression becoming more and more joyful.

"Hum!!!"

The large Slash Night blade shook violently again, almost making Deng Yuxiang lose her grip.

In the hazy sky, layers of mist constantly surged toward the head of Wu Lie Bridge.

For a time, Lu Ran was completely shrouded in mist.

Even the woman close at hand had a figure that was visible and invisible.

"Hum!!!"

Strange phenomena occurred again!

The speed of mist supply was no longer as fast as the speed of the blade absorbing it.

The environment around Lu Ran became clearer and clearer.

He endured the excitement in his heart, didn't dare to disturb, and quietly retreated.

This image in his sight was truly moving.

The Wu Lie River water under the bridge was still rushing, like an impassioned and surging accompaniment.

The yellow raincoat woman stood high on the bridge railing, holding the Slash Night broadsword high, pointing at the gray and hazy sky.

The mist surging from the sky inexplicably began to rotate.

Like strips of "mist tornadoes," they descended densely from the sky, all shrouding the small human race.

Each mist tornado was like a path connecting to the sky.

1 minute, 2 minutes... 5 minutes... 10 minutes.

At the head of Wu Lie Bridge, many Moon Gazing people had already stood there.

People were all attracted by the strange phenomena in the sky, and also witnessed with their own eyes that in this old small city, a divine weapon was born!

"Heh..."

Deng Yuxiang suddenly sighed, and incomparably brilliant brilliance burst out in her eyes.

The Slash Night broadsword vibrated and hummed, and the speed of absorbing energy suddenly accelerated!

"Hum!!!"

Energy surged, and air waves rolled.

A huge phantom actually spread out from the Slash Night broadsword, and then dissipated without a trace.

Although it was only for a short moment, Lu Ran saw her... well, her appearance.

The Slash Night blade spirit was actually nine-tenths similar to its master Deng Yuxiang?

She was also graceful and bright and moving.

However, her eyes were sharper than Great Nightmare's, and her temperament was even more fierce!

The world was silent, only the rain was drizzling and the river was rushing.

A group of Moon Gazing people exchanged glances, all with joy on their faces, but didn't dare to speak loudly, fearing to disturb Deng Yuxiang.

For a long time, Deng Yuxiang broke this silence:

"Little Lu Ran."

"Ah?"

Deng Yuxiang's eyes were rarely gentle, looking at the cold Slash Night broadsword, feeling the terrifying energy surging within it:

"Come over, she wants to see you."
